Interview with Mrs Huntingdon. She talks about her experience of losing her sight due to glaucoma, her treatment and visits to the eye infirmary in Wolverhampton, and her adjustment to her condition. She discusses how she recognises people by their voices, particularly people she has met since losing her sight, and describes what vision she still has. She talks about the support she gets from her family and says that black and Asian people are kinder to her than white people. She describes some of the problems she has in carrying out household tasks and her awareness of flowers and sunlight using her other senses. She talks about her Christian faith, her membership of the Salvation Army, being able to use talking books, her husband and guides describing things for her, and her difficulties negotiating obstacles around her house (tracks 2-6).
